*Dying for Nothing

*
*by Charley Reese

I didn't watch any of the Memorial Day events on television. Memorial
Day, it seems to me, should be only for the families of the dead. It's
really impossible to remember someone we never knew.

Of course, these days Memorial Day gets larded with politics and
pseudo-patriotism. It's nauseating to watch a bunch of actors,
entertainers and politicians who never heard a gun fired in anger put on
a maudlin performance as if they really gave a rat's toenail for the dead.

The fact is, war is started by old men who never go near the war, and
wars are always fought by the young. The king of Belgium once noted that
it takes 20 years of peace to produce a man and 20 seconds of war to
destroy him. Think about that. All that a young human being is -
*intelligence, health, youth, education, knowledge, potential
accomplishments* - reduced to a bloody pile of broken bones and guts in
an instant. They are strangers killing and being killed by strangers.
